Discover Quilting's Wonder

December 5 - 11, 2010

All Levels

This class is for all the quilters over the years who've asked how I really made my quilt, "Miranda: The Tempest," even though I've taught the techniques in other ways.  You'll make a smaller version of "Miranda" and will learn to do her hair and dress blowing in the storm, including the dress folds.  You'll also work on the rocks, the cliffs in the distance, and the stormy ocean waves.

Christine Fries’ art quilts emphasize thread-painting, color, and “a sense of wonder.”  Born and raised in Belgium, she lives in Vermont with her husband and sons.  In 1998 her life changed with her discovery of quilts and the quilting world, which have been a passion ever since. Christine has won national and international awards. Her quilts have been featured in newspapers, magazines, special exhibits, and calendars. She lectures and teaches workshops in the Northeastern U.S. and Canada.  

She says, “Quilting is more than happiness, It’s ecstasy!”
